(Oregon Coast) – Hitting the beach with Fido is now a mainstay in the tourism industry on the Oregon coast. The number of lodgings and vacation rentals providing pet friendly amenities has probably doubled in the last ten years.

Here then is a sampling of pet friendly vacation rentals on the Oregon coast, encompassing most of the north Oregon coast and central coast.

In Seaside, the pet friendly vacation rental businesses include Beach House Vacation Rentals, OceanAire and Weiss Paradise Vacation Rentals, among others. These are usually limited to a few homes and include fees. There is a large variety of homes, including massive near-mansions to beach charmers, even a couple that include some A-frame architecture.

In Cannon Beach, several pet friendly rental agencies exist. A couple are high-end condo-like constructions, while the others vary greatly in size and amenities. You'll find many of these homes are oceanfront, and even close to Haystack Rock. More at the Cannon Beach Vacation Rentals link.

Several miles south, in Manzanita, Neahkahnie Mountain and those miles of pristine beaches are the focus.

18 miles south of Lincoln City sits Depoe Bay, where massive crashes of waves occur on a regular basis.

Many of the rental agencies above also provide opportunities for larger groups, sleeping as many as ten or more. Some even host business meeting facilities.
